A CARACENI

The first name in Milanese tailoring, A Caraceni remains an enduring symbol of understatement. Established by Augusto Caraceni in 1946, the tailor shop makes bespoke suits favoured by CEOs who want to convey a commitment to subtle style. Today, Caraceni’s grandchildren and great-grandson continue in the family tradition as trained cutters. Clients of this quintessential old-school establishment can count on top tailoring with a conservative style and more generous fit. caracenimilano.com
